If you have tried and tried to bring healthy change into your life and are still continuing to struggle, I have an idea that may just help you leave your unhealthy body behind and start living that healthy life you dream about. I suggest you take on a caregiver’s mentality when it comes to your body and your health. Just think about that for a moment. Imagine that your body is like a very sick friend or loved one who is unable to take care of itself and that you are the only one in a position to help. The reality is that this is true. Your body is helpless and totally at your mercy. Only YOU have the power to care for it and nurture it back to health. I am a great believer in the power of mental imagery. That is why I use it regularly and write about it so frequently. If you can imagine yourself as the caregiver for your sick body, you may just be able to perform the mental gymnastics necessary for life-altering change.

So for those of you struggling with a “sick old body,” why not adopt a caregiver’s mentality and love yourself back to health. Make it happen! You are worth the effort and your body and spirit will be forever grateful!
